From the book reviews: "The book under review gives a modern perspective on the problems in ruin theory in the framework of the classical Cramer-Lundberg risk model. ... This compact book combines rigorous mathematical treatments with discussions and contains a comprehensive bibliography on the related topics at the end of each chapter. ... this book is well written and can serve as a major reference book for researchers and graduate students in ruin theory and related areas."
